Chapter 131： Loli plan

After sending away Columbus's fleet, Marin breathed a sigh of relief. After a long time of preparation, it was finally over. This voyage was significant for Marin. Of course, it does not refer to the profit of trade, but to the future.

For example, this time when he went to India, Marin specifically asked Draco to search for the seeds of soybean and mung bean plants. It goes without saying that soybeans are the king of feed and are an important source of vegetable oil. Although this thing is produced in China, India and China border. Although the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a big obstacle, the two countries also have exchanges. For example, Indian sugarcane was introduced to China through the Southern Ocean during the Zhou Dynasty. Marin is not very familiar with the history of the spread of soybeans, but it is estimated that it is at the end of the 15th century and should also be introduced to India. As long as you have soybeans, you can produce a large amount of vegetable oil and obtain excellent horse feed. Whether it is civil affairs or military, soybeans are extremely important strategic resources.

As for mung beans, that's incidental. The origin of this thing is India, you can definitely get it in India. Although it has no strategic value, Marin likes bean sprouts made by mung beans. And, it seems good to drink mung bean soup in summer ...

Alas, India's saltpeter is much cheaper than Europe. European saltpeter costs 10 Finneys per pound. In India, as long as about two or three Finneys, it is only a little more expensive than the saltpeter of the Ming Dynasty. As Europe enters the era of guns, the demand for saltpeter will increase greatly, and coupled with the soaring prices, the price of saltpeter in Europe will also increase.

In order to use the line-up shooting tactics in the future, Marlin will definitely need a lot of gunpowder. Saltpeter, the main raw material of gunpowder, is essential.

So, for Marin, India is the most important thing-soy and saltpeter ...

As for spices, that's just incidental, there is the best, nothing is nothing. But soybeans and saltpeter are strategic materials and must be taken seriously.

I'm busy with going to India, Marin is finally free to deal with Angela's problem ...

Angela is important, it goes without saying. Marin also hopes to use Angela to replicate Lu Buwei's "strange goods can live" legend. Therefore, Angela cannot let go.

How to get the most value from Angela? Best when married!

I became the son-in-law of the Rovere family. At that time, with the support of the Pope, Marin may not necessarily hang on the tree of the Emperor.

Maximilian I was not as good as his descendants, and the reward for the title seemed embarrassing. Of course, this is not that Maximilian I was stingy, but that this person is too shrewd and applied the knighthood, the only reward he can master, to the extreme, attracting people to die for him.

As a modern man, Marlin has a very independent mind. He has no interest in such things as loyalty and patriotism. As a strategic game player, Marin prefers to participate in the hegemony himself.

So, when Marin is strong to a certain degree, he must throw away Maximilian I and do it alone. However, it is not easy to go it alone. The old school aristocrats did not accept themselves very much, and Maximilian I was poor and mean. Therefore, Marin needs other external forces to help himself.

Then, Julius II, the most powerful Pope in European history, became a good choice for Marin.

However, Julius II was not a fool and would not support Marin for no reason. Then, marry the Rovere family and marry his niece (Marin has not known until now that Angela is actually the illegitimate daughter of Julius II), and the Pope will surely stand by his side.

As long as you get online with the pope, most people want to move themselves, they must weigh it. Maybe a big country like Britain and France can not be a pope. But the German princes were not yet strong enough to challenge the Holy See. Because the Holy See has a great influence in the German region. In a bunch of bishops in the German region, bishops need the Holy See to appoint them. In addition, in order to obtain the position of bishop of the bishop state, some bishop candidates also spent a lot of money to bribe in Rome to obtain the position of the bishop of the bishop state. For example, Caesar is now the manager of Alexander Bishop's position to sell the bishop of Germany in private. Whoever sends more gold coins, whose position is the bishop ...

As long as he married the Rovere family of Julius II, nothing else. At least, in the battle for hegemony, the bishops will not be hostile to themselves, at least they will be neutral, and may even help themselves.

The Holy See has a great influence in Germany. Just near the Marin territory, there are several strong bishops. For example, Archbishop Utrecht, Archbishop Bremen, and Bishop Münster. These are all powerful princes. Although the autonomy is great, when the bishops change, they need the approval of the Holy See. Without the approval of the Holy See, it would be impossible to become an archbishop. Because the bishops of the bishopric are not hereditary like the aristocratic territories, but are appointed by the Holy See.

Of course, when some powerful emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were in office, these archbishops could also be appointed by the emperor. For example, Otto the Great. However, the Holy Roman Empire had few powerful emperors. Therefore, after Charles IV promulgated the Golden Seal, the emperor's authority was greatly lost, and the Holy See had completely gained the upper hand in competing with the emperor for the appointment of the archbishop. At present, the appointment and removal of the bishop of the bishopdom in Germany is up to the Holy See ...

多 How powerful are these bishops? In the seven elections of the Empire, three were appointed by the Holy See-Archbishop of Mainz, Archbishop of Trier, and Archbishop of Cologne ...

虽然 Although these bishops can't say that they occupy half of the territory in Germany, their overall strength, more than one-third, is without any problems.

So long as the Pope's support is obtained, there will be many bishops in Germany who will stand by their side or not embarrass themselves. Even the emperor couldn't do this. You know, now the emperor's allies are only the Swabian League and the Duke of Saxony ~ www.novelhall.com ~ So, in general, it is good to marry Angela ...

As for marriage resistance? Marin couldn't see it! You know, when Julius II fell into disappointment, there was no time to take care of his mistress Lucrezia and younger daughter Felice. In order to survive, Lucrezia, who was hiding in the countryside of Genoa, even married Felice, a 15-year-old little landowner, to an unknown little landowner in 1498 in exchange for the other's acceptance.

At the same time, the other members of the Rovere family were also suppressed and hunted down by the Borgia family, without any face at all. This time was the time when the Rovere family was most disappointed. Marin, a powerful baron who is willing to marry the daughter of the Rovere family, is absolutely shameful.

Of course, Marin also did not dare to announce frankly that he had married a girl from the Rovere family. In that way, the Borgias had to mobilize the German archbishops to surround themselves. Therefore, Angela must change her identity. Fortunately, the method of communication in the Middle Ages was backward, and it was not difficult for Marin to fabricate a fake identity for Angela.

However, for the moment, the most important thing is to coax Angela, a beautiful big loli, to marry herself in 1503 before Julius II returned to Rome to succeed the pope.

So, in order to achieve this "little goal", Marin had to do everything he could to deceive and pursue the beautiful big Lolita Angela ...

Marin himself was also very interested in the development of a beautiful little loli into a beautiful little wife.
